The bling barbecue: World's most expensive grill is plated all over in 24-carat gold... and it's yours for $165,000<br />
<br />
If your barbecue is beginning to rust away and wasn’t quite up to the job on Memorial Day weekend, then why not replace it with this one?<br />
The world’s most expensive barbecue - all individually plated in 24-carat gold and built by hand - is yours for around $165,000.<br />
Australian firm BeefEater Barbecues produces the ‘ultimate in backyard bling' - a grill completely plated in gold apart from the cooking surfaces.<br />
The grill was first built for the Sydney Home Show and was later verified as the world’s most expensive barbecue in November 2009.<br />
The company was celebrating being named the World’s Finest Barbecue in a global review of the world’s finest luxury products.<br />
It is a pimped-out version of the firm’s Signature Series 6 Burner SL4000 and became the world’s first fully-functional gold barbecue.<br />
<br />
It boasts a six-burner barbecue and wok burner, quartz start ignition, warming rack, roasting hood, high-output burners and vaporiser grid.<br />
The company said it made the golden grill for those who ‘want to make a statement with their barbecue and have the money to burn’.<br />
‘Part of the fun of having a barbecue is putting on a show, and that’s what we do best,’ a BeefEater Barbecues spokesman said.<br />
He added that it was only made to see how much in 'opulence, price and features' the company could fit into one product.<br />
With the gold price currently above $1,500 per ounce it could also represent a decent investment if the price continues to rise.<br />
